General Street Team Discussion

Yes you definitely have a point there

Well as long as someone helps this old man to keep track of all the various FB pages we'll be alright I think! And Bex is already doing that for me

Bxstar wrote: My understanding of this and I maybe wrong in doing so, was to get all FB pages/group aligned and unified. Also to get them over here to check in - as the forum would be the official line of any action etc. (The HUB)

What you're doing is 100% correct, this is exactly what I asked for, and more!

Bxstar wrote: What if they don't want to be part of it and do their own thing (what do we do then)? Is the answer, to have one person over seeing these FB pages and making sure they are up to date with what's happening over here and are following actions?

Would be a little strange if they weren't up for proper communication with us, I think. If at least one person from every FB page can check in here would be awesome. Then FB can be a great tool for that person (probably the "leader") to reach out to the rest from his / her country maybe

I'm talking to him as well and he'll come

Bxstar wrote: What do we do with Official Pages that don't want to play ball anymore???

I think we maybe should skip that "Official" tag completely. The official sites are anything connected to crashdiet.org and our own facebook. The rest are street teams - as important as our pages but it should be called something else I think, let's think about this for a little while .

We need to make this whole thing as less complicated as we possibly can - I love your ideas so let's keep throwing out ideas on how we best can form this whole street team concept

Bxstar wrote: That's what I'm aiming for. Down to them tho

Cool, and yes, I agree, but anyways

Bxstar wrote: Glad to hear it. Sometimes I feel some people are like "Who is she, to ask this etc. I want a band member to contact me. lol

Hahaha! Tell them that London sent you but he is incapable of using Facebook properly.

Bxstar wrote: There are so many different titled pages that we need to call them something just to visually see that they are a part of this. Whatever that title is, I'll leave it upto you

I totally agree, I'll sleep on it, let me know if you come up with something as well. I want it to be like a approved Street team or something but the word "Official" just isn't right anymore. "Approved" sounds like I'm a dictator who decides who is allowed to help my band and who's not ha ha!

Bxstar wrote: The sooner we decide what to call them the better.

Definitely.

Bxstar wrote: Do you want them as street teams for now?

I think it would make sense to ask all groups that are alive to call themselves street teams yeah, but only if they are up for that kind of activities, but I guess they are. Online promoting is also a sort of street team activity I think, everything doesn't have to be done on the streets

Bxstar wrote: Quick update. CrashDiet Peru is now under me for hopefully a very very short time. Wendy the girl that was/is running it has not got time to lavish on it as I believe she has got alot studies on. She been doing an excellent job. Hopefully her friend Raxel will take it on? More on that if and when i hear back from him. If not I shall put a call out for someone to run it.

Awesome!

Bxstar wrote: CrashDiet Brazil: right I will look at sorting the 2 pages and the group into 1 tomorrow. Chris has been in touch thankfully and Paula Quissick (sorry if i've spelt your last name wrong) would like to be part of it, so hopefully we will have one kickass Brazil page agreed by end of play Monday night!

Sounds lovely.

Thanks for your hard work Bex

just an idea but how to just make it obvious visually? I don't know if you've seen the streetteam logo thing I made with the spray can over the xXx logo,maybe not the exact thing (I don't know how well people like it?) but maybe something like that? So that only the approved streetteams can use it? like a "approved" stamp, but less.. dictatorship like?


as for calling all pages streetteams, there are alot of fan pages there right now, and mayn of them are what I would call "Crashdiet appreciation pages" like, I'd compare those pages to the streetteams like I'd compare the crashdiet topics on here that go about music and pictures etc in comparison to this section of the forum. get me?
I think it would be bad to try to get them under a streetteam banner too forcefully, because with the actual work (and to everyone, this CAN be actual WORK) they maybe arent there with the heart.
I think these page are immensly important, because it a) shows alot how popular the band is, and b) fans need a place to just rant how awesome everything is

I think I'd just leave those pages as they are.
Ofc the people setting would be the first to ask if they want to organize a real streetteam.
Also online promoting only is cool to ofc, but I think there is a difference between just sharing awesomeness and actual online promo if you get me...



Maybe this is a bit arrogant jealousy from my side, but I just worked really hard at times to make the geraman streetteam different to those pages, and I would find it sad if the term "streetteam" got watered down and think one should be care ful here.

my two cents

EDIT so in short: I think what Id do is aks aroun on those pages who wants to do an actual streetteam and set one up/rework an existing page and call it streetteam for every country. So those would be the "i want to online promote/put out flyer" pages, that would maybe somehow get an "approved" thing of some sort (if it's just the band putting out a list like "we are in connection with these") and let the rest of the pages just be what they are, whatever this might be. So peiple have the choice

Please do!

Everything you write makes perfect sense, I agree on everything!

Justin Kicks wrote: So as I just created the new USA street team page I was going to use facebook paid ad service to help get the name of the street team out and try to get some more support when I thought rather then giving money to facebook I could instead be more creative and entice some of the supporters to promote the page by offering rewards..

It is similar to the whole point system just created here for the forum, but a little more street team promotion orientated. To explain this quickly I plan on offering to personally buy something off of the Crashdiet webshop to any street team member of the page for gaining the most points over a period of time and possibly smaller prizes to smaller point earners. To earn points you can share and promote the street team page throughout the internet, print out flyers and plaster Crashdiet material all across the city that you live in, and various other promotional type things to be worked out!


Has anyone else experimented or done anything like this to help get Street Team activity going?! If so how did it work.. I know a lot times when people joing a street team they don't really participate in actual promotional activities, so I thought this could be a fun and rewarding way to ensure that Street Teamers actually get help spread the word.. Obviously it would be an optional thing and for people that didn't want to be bothered with doing the flyers and such don't really have to worry about it

I tried stuff like the chance to win something before if you share something. Like, one share is your name once in the pot etc, the more shares you have the higher your chances.
it didn't really work tho.
I blame it on the streetteam being to small back then, and on me being super socially awkward, I guess I just didn't find the right words...
keep us updated how it works for you please!

good luck!
